Lara Logan Returning To ’60 Minutes’

CBS News correspondent Lara Logan is back to work at 60 Minutes more than six months after being forced to take a leave of absence over her disputed story about the deadly attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, in 2012.

CBS News spokeswoman Sonya McNair said Wednesday  that Logan has returned, but didn't give any details on when she'd gone back.

The Benghazi report last October relied on the testimony of security contractor Dylan Davies, who said he was at the scene of the raid. However, his story quickly fell apart and it turned out there was no evidence he'd been there.

CBS issued a correction and launched an internal investigation, which concluded Logan and her colleagues should have done a better job checking out Davies' story. The review also said that a speech Logan made urging the U.S. to take action in response to the Benghazi attack was a conflict of interest.
